Serie A 2024-2025: Genoa v Roma, the likely lineups
The probable lineups
Genoa to get back on the march after the pre-match domestic thud against Hellas Verona, Roma for the first success of the season: motivations are definitely high for both contenders who will face each other on Sunday, in the first 'lunch match' of the season, for the match valid for the fourth day of Serie A at the 'Ferraris'.
For Alberto Gilardino è the more-than-tested 3-5-2 is practically certain, with Pinamonti and Vitinha ready to restore the joy of scoring goals for the Grifone after the empty passage of two weeks ago. Space, in midfield, will also be made for Malinovskyi, while in defense it will be Vogliacco, Bani and Vasquez who will try to counter the Giallorossi's attack.
Roma’s offensive sector is precisely the one that has given Daniele De Rossi the most headaches, as only one goal has come in three matches.
The Giallorossi coach is expected to make a tactical change in attack, with Dovbyk no longer the only offensive terminal but flanked by Dybala in a more advanced position. A five-man midfield, possible the use of Baldanzi, returning from the happy parenthesis in the Under 21.
Genoa-Roma, probable formations
GENOA (3-5-2): Gollini; Vogliacco, Bani, Vasquez; Sabelli, Frendrup, Badelj, Malinovskyi, Martin; Pinamonti, Vitinha. All. Gilardino.
ROME (3-5-2): Svilar; Mancini, Hermoso, N'Dicka; Saelemaekers, Koné, Cristante, Baldanzi, Angeliño; Dybala, Dovbyk. All. De Rossi.
